Florence + The Machine snag TIME magazine’s Song Of The Year

Florence + The Machine have earned rave reviews for their album, “Ceremonials,” and now that the year-end lists are starting to show up, you can be sure their name will appear on many of them.

TIME magazine has named Florence’s “No Light, No Light” as the 2011 Song Of The Year.

TIME says the song “could be the sound of a religious revival. Florence Welch's rich voice has never sounded better than on this track; her fervent, even rapturous, lamentations about her partner's lost love resonate like requests for salvation made by a faltering believer with arms raised to the sky. ‘Heaven help me, I need to make it right’ she wails, but gets no reply. Replete with harps and a tribal drum beat, ‘No Light, No Light’ operates as a plea for salvation that will soon have you running to your deity of choice.”
